Utility of Various Activation Procedures in Provoking Ictal and Interictal Patterns, during Routine Electroencephalogram (rEEG) Recording
The provocation of EAs in rEEG with different APs varies according to circumstances, including seizure types, epilepsy etiology, and the type of AP applied. These clinical and procedural parameters affect the diagnostic yield of rEEG and need careful consideration during rEEG recordings. APs adopted during rEEG recording can induce FSWDs, FSWDBS, and GSWDs in the form of either interictal or ictal EAs in various etiologies of epilepsy. Ictal EAs may appear in the form of GSWDs, during NREM sleep, in prolonged EEG records; however, their independent association needs to be evaluated in larger sample studies. Further, prospective cohort studies with adequate sample sizes are warranted.
